(((hugs))))
I have 3 daughters and they all started their periods at the age of 12, I buy the always night too as I find the first 2-3 days is when their flow is the heaviest and I also buy the always normal for when their periods are lighter, My youngest who is now 15 is very small for her age she is okay with always night.
It is scary for a mother and also for the child too, (((hugs to your daughter))))
